Yes he was. Big story is still that first game holding Larry Johnson to 32 yards iirc who had run for nearly 1800 during the season. I think they were dead last in the league in run D going into that.

Looking at the stats, I saw a regular season game where they gave up 375 rushing yards to the Jags. :jnc
Thinking that was the big Fred Taylor/MJD game.
Exactly, Champ should become a depth guy when he heals. I also heard the idea he switches to safety because he can still tackle really well, but is slowing down. As a safety tackling is more important. I do not know if Fox would do this due to Champ's pride and prestige, but it seems the time for change has come.
Booger McFarland also helped!! I will never know for sure what possessed the defense that run, but it was something special. That Pats game was probably my best playoff memory, especially after being knocked out the playoffs by them multiple times.

I'm also going to say that I think the Broncos playcalling really hurt them starting out.
I dunno! If they get Tebow all bets are off!
I remember reading this too, but if I recall it seemed like Champ was onboard with that plan as a way to prolong his career. Not sure if he thinks he's at that stage but at some point he's going to have to consider it if he wants to see the field.
I'm not sure how Rahim Moore has graded out thru 7 games. He's made some timely plays but its not like he's Ed Reed out there. Keep hearing that Broncos staff are really happy with his progress from last year.
You now root for that which you despise. #karma
Do we get Adderall and skittles now too?

I think they are a good team, don't get me wrong, but they are taking advantage of a last place schedule. They have beat one team with a winning record (the very average Cowboys), and their opponents record is a combined 14-33
You all got him killed, you barbarians.
Game of inches... ugh.
...or 7 yards...
Texans installed a revolving door at RT.
Lost cause this year, likely done at end of year, McNair won't hang noose in middle of season. (No accountability, top to bottom on this team)
<3 MatrixSure TD dropped.
Scores 3 on supposed toughest defense.
Still whines about Kubiak...
OD catches that
Ok that's more reasonable.
Going into the game, Foster's been battlefighting his hammy... activate only 2 RBs. Welp...
Keep that shit up Keenum..
The "weak arm" stuff was stated as fact by everyone in the media, which I can excuse the national media, the Texans always fly under radar, 3rd string guy is going to be buried beneath everything. But some local bloggers *coughstephaniestradley* have continued the fallacy, and it's just not true. It's not "Throw off your knees 80 yards" but he doesn't have a weak arm, and it's way stronger than Schoobs.
Love Lechler.
I know the exact play y'all are referring to :jnc
So bad...
Yeah, no lucky bounce there.
Ok... I've caught up on the first half. I'll do half #2 tomorrow.
Loved DHB killing Bailey on the first TD.
Love that they're still pointing out all the time that "Luck is a pretty good runner".
Loved that even the NFL's own guys are making fun of the helmet to helmet rules ("He's a runner. Can do anything to a runner".)
As for the Pats, shit sucks. Hard to keep yourself looking away from Brady's stats.

Or in your case, his looks.

So, who had money on the Chiefs being the last undefeated team ?
Get schoobed.

Has anyone posted Godslay's Welker salt gif yet? I feel it has to be done.

I keep looking at that Alex Smith gif and wonder why #59 just stopped.
I love you, Gata.
How do you think Luck managed to study enough to pass his classes at Stanford?

They're one of your teams as well now?
We lost to a division rival, no easy games there unfortunately. We beat the Jets the last 6 times before this, but they always play us hard. It's like they don't like us. But since you have to keep track of your 27 teams and have a brain the size of a pea, I understand that it's hard to keep track of the divisions.

Missing 3 of our 4 best defensive players (and Tommy Kelly).
No excuse for Brady's poor play though.
The defense could get some help through trades. The offense is contingent on Brady playing better. If he continues to play like he has for the first 7 games we are one and done in the playoffs.

It gets a little complicated when you root for 2/3rds of the league.
I don't get this joke, especially when you have people like squicken here. It's easy, "Which team has a Manning? OK, that's Tabris' teams". And unless Cooper Manning comes out of nowhere, that's 2. I don't count Manning on the Texans.
It's actually spelled Keenum.
Do you remember that you are an Eli fan? How's that going this year?
:jnc
How did you even end up like this? Started out as a Peyton fan and added Eli in the 2007 playoffs?

CAR players thought this hit was dirty
So they made sure they got even

Watched the post game interview with jared cook and he kept saying how the Bradford injury was a dirty play. I can't agree on that front. Maybe if cook would stop counting his stacks of cash and get the hell open his qb wouldn't have to tuck and run.
Starting to realize I dislike a lot of the people fish brought in.

It was a dirty play and I'm not even a Rams fan. The Panthers are one of the most unlikeable teams in the league. But when you have Steve Smith and Cam Newton on your roster it would be hard not to be one of the most unlikeable teams in the league.

Matt Ryan today was 20/26 273 yards, 3 TDs 0 INT. QBR 148.4 against a Bucs defense that is pretty good despite their record.
So much for Ryan only being able to make plays with the likes of Jones, White, and Gonzales.

Bradford was giving himself up. He was in-bounds and the hit was legal. But Mitchell sold out to get the shot. I have zero doubt CAR was going after him as revenge for the Quinn hit on Cam. Mitchell celebrating when he sees that he is injured is pretty convincing. Hardy was also pretty proud of himself after taking that dirty shot. Anyone with game rewind can go watch if they need more context than the GIFs provide
Dahl ran around shoving and pushing but they never did anything. It was pretty lame. They let CAR bully them, goad them into fouls, take out their QB and end their season, and did nothing
e: But yes, Cook needs to shut it. He isn't good. The least physical TE I have ever seen. Gets re-routed and just gives up. Perfect example was the 2nd and 4th down plays before the safety. Finnegan is awful too. They will need to change some coaches and look at personnel people when season ends (officially)
That's true, but the Broncos have played only a slightly more difficult schedule and have an L. It has seemed like a double standard on that front, particularly as the Broncos had an easier schedule so far coming into the weekend.
With that said, you're right that weeks 11-13 and 16-17 will be the weeks which determine how legit the Chiefs really are. Yesterday it was encouraging that they won despite their D struggling a bit. The O left a lot of points on the table (Fasano needed inches to get in the end zone, took a knee on the one, fumbled in the red zone). If the O, particularly the O line can continue to improve then I think they can be a legitimate threat. Their defense can be lights out at times.
Just wanted to state again just how God awful the Bears Defense is right now. They cannot stop anyone with all these injuries. Worst Bears defense I have ever seen. Before this game the defense had a combined 2nd lowest PFF grade. Wouldn't be surprised if it was the lowest after this week. A lot of defensive free agents next year. I think they blow it up in the off season.
Late again, but my God, the Eagles are crap at home.
Isnt it supposed to be the other way around? I wonder why they play like shit in front of home crowds?

At least they're not as unlikeable as the Lions. Their coach seems like a decent guy morally, just an idiot
The Bears Way.
